1) Local News

MAJOR BUZZKILL WARNING

Losing A Good One. Don Casper was a hard-working public servant. He did his job well and served the public with intelligence and courage. He fought hard for us, and put himself at risk in the process. Governor Schwarzenneger fired him for blocking the sale of state assets. Gov. Brown rehired him to manage during this incredible difficult financial time and he was hard at that task until he was run down and killed two weeks ago, that is.

Lots of cool stuff happening around the Northland, as usual. Check it out here.

2) Other News

       Exploding casinos, war, chaos, misery, destructive storms coming out of nowhere...

3) Read your local paper. Pay a little now or pay a LOT later.

4) Exhaustion

5) Lit Minit : "Desderata," by Max Baer, Jr. 1927.

TYSM for reading and listening. I hope you had fun. Now, GBTW!

Also used, but without permission, the intro music is "Wheels," by CAKE off of their album "Pressure Chief."

1) Local News

*  Concussions hurt

*  Show your boobs to save the world (Guys welcome, but you can't show yours).

*  Green Buds! Oh, snap! Whadaya mean, I am polluting more than Exxon? Local indoor farmers face a new, eco-unfriendly awareness.

2) Other News

War, chaos, misery, disaster, radiation, financial ruin, eco-war, eco-chaos, eco-misery, et al...


3) Local Loco : Listen to a local band. Eat some food produced locally. Read your local paper.  Step out of line a little. Work a little now or pay a LOT more later, when some Murdoch clone owns all the local press. See Meet Joe Black for more. Just because News Of The World is gone, don't think that we can let well enough alone.


4) Feature: "Green Brain Boredom"

      Boredom is the powerful force that -- unchecked -- will stop learning in its tracks.
      
         Boredom does not just come from hearing the crickets chirp. It can also be produced by TOO
MUCH
INFORMATION.

         If you are overwhelmed by the flood of information regarding green living, we can help. Call me at Discovery Learning Tutoring and I can connect you with my friends at San Francisco Community Power. They give free energy audits for San Franciscans. Live outside of the area? No problem. DL can help there, too. Give us a call to see how.

        Overwhelmville is no fun. Get out now.

1) Local News

* 22 DAYS TO BURNING MAN! And if you are going to miss it, like I am, all hope is not lost. Burning Man Project thrusts forward the spirit of Burners and Non, with its mission to "...not have to go out to the desert to have that opportunity for self-expression and creativity." Beyond the Playa, Aug 10, 2011. Mayor Ed Lee as well as one of his opponents for the Mayor's seat are teaming up with founding forces and the Black Rock City, LLC to dress up Market Street and much more. "We don't want to merely decorate the city's main street...We want to change lives," said super-founder Larry Harvey.

*Outside Lands this weekend! Bundle up.

* So you think I can dance? Nah, and viewership for the Fox finale is down 9% to show again, that ANYTHING I like is unpopular, generally. Good, right?

* Eco-Sexy. 7 pm tonight at The Lab.

* Hetch-Hetchy not to be restored anytime soon, but not because Mike Marshall isn't working at it 24/7.

* Local High School Newspaper is boring, even to it's editor.

* As per usual, an ungodly amount of ungodly stuff to do this week here in The City. Some cheap stuff here.

See Meet Joe Black for more. Just because News Of The World is gone, don't think that we can let well enough alone.

1) Local News

SF Weekly article about local water. Sensational, probably well-intended, but thin and big-picture-missingish.
